A tomato is a tender fruit that is easy to grow but there are some tips and tricks that help them grow more successfully - and I am going to share mine with you! Last year I got just shy of 200 lbs of tomatoes out of my garden. My tomato plants were almost 10 feet tall and they produced until the first frost when I gathered all the stragglers and put them on my windowsill to ripen. For a while I was buried in tomatoes. It was glorious!! This is the third year I have used this method and I have had SO much success that I want to share how it works. So first, gather your materials. Blood Meal Fish Meal Eggshells Aspirin Tomato Plants Shovel (You'll want to process your eggshells and aspirin in the food processor to crush them.) Step 1: Buy the leggiest tomato plants you possibly can. And by leggy I mean this: You want long, tall stalks. If they are in bigger pots that is fine, but root structure doesn't matter as much as stalk length. Step 2: Dig a trench. The trench should be 9-12 inches deep and 12 inches wide. My beds are 6 ft so that makes my trench in these example pictures 6'x12"x12". Step 3: Amend your soil. For each 6'x12"x12" trench I add 1 cup blood meal, 1 cup bone meal, a dozen or so egg shells and 2 aspirin (eggshells and aspirin are crushed up in the food processor). I put all of this in the bottom of the trench and I mix it in with soil really well. Don't worry if you can't see it when you are done. The plants will find what they need. Step 4: Gently remove all the leaves below the first branch. What you want is a long stalk with no leaves except the top 2 or 3. This stalk is 14 inches tall and I cut all of the branches and leaves off but the top two branch sections. Do you see how fuzzy the stalk is? Every hair on the stalk will turn into a root if you bury it in the dirt. Which in the end, gives you an incredibly strong root structure for your plant! Step 5: Lay your plant in the trench sideways, like so: (All the amendments are at the bottom of this trench, covered in a light layer of soil.) NOTE: Those with less space, I fit 6 14"-18" tall plants laying down in a 6ft trench by laying the tomato root ball to stem: I lay them this way in the bottom of the amended trench. Then, as I cover it with soil and gently bend the leafy end up towards the sun: Step 6: Fill the trench with soil until it reaches it resembles tiny tomato plants, all in a row. The amendments in this trench will feed the plants and boost the green production before they are ready to flower... speaking of flowers! NOTE: If your plant has a flower before you put it in the ground, remove it! The early fruit is not worth the drain on the plant while it is trying to grow all it's leaves back. Step 7: WATER DEEPLY. You just shocked the pants off this plant. It needs time and water to recoup from the trama. However, you will quickly see the plants turn even more green and start to put on new leaves. With in weeks, they will have caught up and grown past all their counterparts. One more NOTE: Dogs love bloodmeal and fish meal. If you must, put cages around your tomatoes to keep your fury friends out! That's all folks! Happy Gardening! Want the best recipes for your incredible harvest of tomatoes you're about to have?
